The Earthwatch team pooled their video and photo resources to help document their activities assisting Dr. Peter Kershaw’s ongoing work monitoring environmental change in the sub-arctic/arctic transition zone along the western coast of Hudson Bay in northern Canada. (Many thanks to Will for risking his equipment in the harsh environment and taking such excellent videos, especially given the circumstances.) Here is just a sampling as The Traveler begins to chronicle the team’s adventure in the arctic.
